Morphology

untorn = torn (transparent) = un + torn

The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the adjective 'torn', indicating the state of being not torn.

Etymology

Untorn is made of the prefix un- meaning 'not', as in untie, and torn, the past of 'tear', meaning 'ripped'. So untorn means 'not ripped' or 'still whole', which fits a package or ticket that has no damage.
